What OpUtils Does
OpUtils is the answer to two long-standing network operations problems: "which IP addresses are actually in use on our network?" and "which physical device is plugged into port 24 of the second-floor closet switch?" Manual spreadsheet tracking works until it doesn't - IP conflicts, ghost devices, forgotten hardware, and untraceable connectivity problems all show up in the same week. OpUtils replaces the spreadsheet with a live view: IPAM continuously scans every subnet for used/reserved/available IPs, SPM continuously maps every switch port to the device connected, and rogue device detection flags anything showing up that shouldn't be there.
What Network Teams Use It For
Where It Fits
OpUtils complements OpManager. If your team already runs OpManager for network monitoring, OpUtils plugs into the same unified console at a 20% discount versus the standalone price. OpManager tells you what's up or down; OpUtils tells you what's plugged in where and which IP it has.
OpUtils overlaps with DDI Central. The Management Edition adds DDI (DNS + DHCP + IPAM) management on top of OpUtils' traditional IPAM/SPM base. DDI Central is ManageEngine's dedicated DDI platform, purpose-built for the full DDI use case. If IPAM plus switch-port operations tooling is the primary need, OpUtils Professional or Management is usually the fit; if DDI lifecycle management is the primary need, DDI Central may be a better match.
Who It's For
Canadian network operations teams that have outgrown IP-address spreadsheets and manual port-mapping. Also fits any IT team that inherited an environment with unknown MAC-to-port assignments, ghost DHCP leases, or "we don't know who owns that server" mystery devices. Small networks can prove value on the Free Edition (1 Class C subnet + 1 switch) indefinitely.
How Optrics Helps
As Canada's authorized ManageEngine partner since 2010, Optrics quotes OpUtils in Canadian dollars, invoices in CAD with local tax handling, and helps you decide whether Professional or Management fits your DDI story. The used-ports-and-IPs licensing model is unusually flexible - we can walk you through sizing so you don't over-buy on a base pack when you really need one large "unlimited" bundle instead. If you already run OpManager, we'll apply the 20% add-on discount automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ManageEngine OpUtils?
OpUtils is ManageEngine's IP Address Management (IPAM) and Switch Port Mapper (SPM) platform, packaged with 30+ built-in network diagnostic tools. It automates IP address tracking across IPv4 and IPv6 subnets, maps every physical device to its switch port, detects rogue devices connecting to the network, monitors DHCP server scopes, and now also includes DDI (DNS/DHCP/IPAM) management in the Management Edition.
What editions of OpUtils are available?
Three editions: Free Edition (1 Class C subnet and 1 switch - basic IP scanning, ping, discovery utilities), Professional Edition (IPAM, Switch Port Mapper, rogue device detection, MIB browser, and 30+ network tools), and Management Edition (adds full DDI - DNS and DHCP management alongside IPAM). Both paid editions start with the same base pack of 250 IPs plus 250 switch ports.
Is there a free edition of OpUtils?
Yes. The Free Edition covers 1 Class C subnet (up to 254 IPs) and 1 switch with basic IP scanning, ping, and discovery utilities. Ideal for small networks or as a diagnostic toolkit. Larger deployments move to Professional or Management with paid slabs.
How is OpUtils licensed?
By used IP addresses (in IPAM) and used switch ports (in SPM). Each paid edition starts with a base pack of 250 used switch ports plus 250 used IP addresses with 2 users included. Add-on packs of 250 used ports or 250 used IPs can be added independently, or you can move to Unlimited Ports, Unlimited IPs, or Unlimited both. Additional user packs sold in 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, or Unlimited. Offered as Annual Subscription or Perpetual with annual maintenance and support.
What is the difference between the Professional and Management Editions?
Professional Edition covers the traditional OpUtils feature set: IPAM, Switch Port Mapper, rogue device detection, MIB browser, and 30+ network tools. Management Edition adds full DDI (DNS and DHCP management) alongside IPAM - useful for teams that want a unified console for all three DDI components without moving to a separate DDI product. Both share the same base and add-on pack structure.
Can I add OpUtils to my existing OpManager deployment?
Yes. If you already run OpManager, OpUtils can be purchased as an add-on at a 20% discount versus the standalone price. The two products share a unified console, so IPAM and switch port mapping live alongside your network monitoring.
What is the difference between OpUtils and DDI Central?
OpUtils is IPAM-and-SPM-first with 30+ diagnostic tools, and the Management Edition adds DDI capabilities on top of the traditional feature set. DDI Central is ManageEngine's dedicated DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) management platform, purpose-built for the full DDI use case. Optrics can walk through which fits better based on whether IPAM + SPM operations tooling is your primary need (OpUtils) or full DDI lifecycle management is (DDI Central).
What add-ons are available for OpUtils?
Failover / Hot Standby Engine (MSSQL) for high availability, Additional User Packs (1, 2, 5, 10, 25, or Unlimited), Web-based Installation & Setup + Training (3 hours each for 2 days), Onsite Training (2 days), Online Training (2 days at 3 hours/day), and One-Time Migration/Upgrade Assistance.
How do Canadian buyers get pricing for OpUtils?
ManageEngine publishes list prices in USD. Optrics Engineering, ManageEngine's Canadian partner since 2010, quotes and invoices in Canadian dollars at the RBC daily rate on the quote date, with local tax handling. Request a quote or call 1-877-430-6240.

Top 5 Reasons to Choose ManageEngine OpUtils
IP address conflicts and unmanaged switch ports frequently lead to unexpected network downtime. ManageEngine OpUtils combines IP Address Management (IPAM) and Switch Port Mapper tools into a single, intuitive interface, eliminating manual spreadsheet tracking for good.
1. Automated IP Address Management
Stop relying on static spreadsheets. Automatically scan subnets to view the real-time availability of IP addresses across IPv4 and IPv6 networks, preventing overlapping allocations.
2. Switch Port Mapping
Gain absolute port visibility. Discover exactly which device is connected to which switch port down to its physical physical location, MAC address, and current operational status.
3. Rogue Device Detection
Fortify network security natively. Continuously scan your network to instantly detect unauthorized, rogue devices connecting to your infrastructure and immediately block their switch port access.
4. Advanced DHCP Server Monitoring
Ensure network reliability. Track DHCP server scopes, monitor available IPs within those scopes in real-time, and receive instant alerts when a scope is nearing exhaustion.
5. Extensive Networking Toolset
Equip your IT team with over 30 built-in network monitoring tools, including Ping, Traceroute, MAC Address Resolver, and DNS Resolver, saving hours of manual troubleshooting.
